Anti-COVID jab doctor gets help from pro-freedom legal group in fight against medical regulator
Dr. Roger Hodkinson
From LifeSiteNews
Dr. Roger Hodkinson is charged by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta with professional misconduct for criticizing COVID shots and mandates.
A Canadian doctor who remarked a few years ago that officials should be jailed for being complicit in the “big kill” caused by COVID jabs is getting help from one of the nation’s top pro-freedom legal groups to fight a medical regulator that has charged him with professional misconduct because of his criticism of the shots.
The Democracy Fund (TDF) said in a press release that it will be “defending” Alberta-based Dr. Roger Hodkinson in his “legal fight with respect to several complaints brought against him by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA).”
“The CPSA has charged Dr. Hodkinson with professional misconduct, alleging that he wrongly commented on the efficacy of masks and social distancing in preventing the spread of COVID-19, the usefulness of vitamin D in protecting against COVID-19, the necessity and unqualified safety of COVID-19 vaccines, and the COVID-19 testing protocol,” the TDF noted.
The complete list of the CPSA’s allegations, which are dated May 16 and can be found here, go back to 2020.
One of the allegations the CPSA brought against Hodkinson is from 2021 when it claimed he “participated in a media interview with Rebel News and identified yourself as a medical specialist in pathology and former assistant professor in the faculty of medicine at the University of Alberta and made statements regarding public health measures in response to the COVID 19 Pandemic that were unprofessional.”
The CPSO claimed that some of Hodkinson’s statements were “contrary to the Canadian Medical Association Code of Ethics and Professionalism, including one or more of the following sections 39 and 41; And further particulars of the unprofessional statement.”
Hodkinson will face a virtual Zoom meeting on November 18, 19, 20, and 21, “as the matter may be heard, to inquire into and ascertain the facts of the matter of a complaint against you referred to the Hearing Tribunal.”
Hodkinson’s attorney, Sarah Miller, noted of the CPSA case against him that it “continues to prosecute Dr. Hodkinson for expressing his opinions on the government’s response to COVID-19.”
“We are proceeding to a five-day hearing in November for the CPSA to hear and determine whether Dr. Hodkinson breached his obligations under the Code of Ethics and Professionalism,” she said. “The hearing represents a considerable use of resources to exercise authority over Dr. Hodkinson’s public expression of his closely held beliefs.”
In 2022, Hodkinson said that leaders in Canada and throughout the world have perpetrated the “biggest kill ever in medicine’s history” because of COVID lockdowns and vaccine coercion.
In 2021, Hodkinson and Dr. Dennis Modry publicly blasted the Conservative provincial government then led by Premier Jason Kenney for “intimidating” people “into compliance” with COVID-19 lockdowns and called on politicians to open society back up.
At that point, Hodkinson was very outspoken against COVID lockdowns.
During a public Edmonton City Council meeting in 2021, Hodkinson blasted government-imposed COVID-19 measures, calling masks “utterly useless” and saying the virus is “not Ebola.”
His comments at the meeting were listed by the CPSO as part of his professional misconduct allegations.
At the time, LifeSiteNews posted a video of Hodkinson’s remarks on YouTube that immediately resulted in the suspension of LifeSite’s account for one week.
As it stands now in Alberta, current Premier Danielle Smith, who is the leader of the United Conservative Party (UCP), has promised that the province’s Bill of Rights will be amended this fall to add protections for people’s personal medical decisions that most likely will include the right to refuse a vaccine.
UCP MLA Eric Bouchard recently hosted a sold-out event titled “An Injection of Truth” that featured prominent doctors and experts speaking out against COVID vaccines and mandates.
“Injection of Truth” included well-known speakers critical of COVID mandates and the shots, including Dr. Byram Bridle, Dr. William Makis, canceled doctor Mark Trozzi and pediatric neurologist Eric Payne.
The COVID shots were heavily promoted by the federal government and all provincial governments, with the Alberta government under Kenney being no exception.
The mRNA shots have been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects in children.

US medical center refusing COVID shots for employees but still promoting to public
Exert from Medical Musings by Dr. Pierre Kory

Major Covid mRNA policy reversals and awakenings occurred this week within a major U.S health system, a large U.S state, a South American country, and in the UK. The dominoes are starting to fall.
This week a nurse reached out with disturbing descriptions of some major changes she has witnessed inside the Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) system.
OSUMC s a large and comprehensive healthcare organization, with a significant presence in Ohio and a strong focus on research, education, and patient care. It is a massive institution with over 23,000 employees, including:
- Over 2,000 physicians
- More than 1,000 residents and fellows
- Nearly 5,000 nurses
Lets start off with this screenshot of a webpage from OSUMC’s website which provides information to the public as to where they can get Covid-19 vaccines. Check out the highlighted sentence at the bottom of the page:
Wait, what? Ohio State is suddenly no longer offering the Covid-19 vaccine to any of their employees but they are happily offering to inject them into the public? How can such a policy be justified? Why was this change in policy done and why was it done so quietly?
Let’s get this straight. Ohio State’s leadership is now making an institutional decision that employees should not be offerred access to any Covid-19 mRNA vaccine. I am (pretending to be) confused. I mean, if the vaccines could protect patients from being infected by staff members and they were safe to give to staff members, why wouldn’t you do everything possible (like a mandate) to ensure they receive them?
The only possible reason for the action above is that either OSUMC leadership recently discovered that the vaccines: a) do not work or b) are not safe. I think you would agree that, of the two possible answers, the only one that makes sense to explain this abrupt change in policy is B) they are not safe. I say this because if they were safe but instead just didn’t really work very well, Ohio State would not have the incentive to divorce themselves so abruptly and strongly from the recommendations of our benevolent federal government. I believe such an action would pretty quickly and negatively impact federal research funding by the NIH. It is my belief that agency’s money kept the nations 126 major academic medical centers in line throughout Covid, as those CEO’s and Deans are well aware that NIH retaliation in terms of rejecting grant funding if they “dissent” is real and happens (inflated reimbursements from the gov’t was another one of course).
I asked the brave browser AI, “why is Ohio State Medical Center no longer offering Covid-19 vaccines to its employees?” Two sentences jumped out:
- “Based on the provided search results, it appears that Ohio State Medical Center did offer COVID-19 vaccines to its employees at one point.”
- “Without further information or clarification from Ohio State Medical Center, it’s difficult to provide a definitive answer on why they may not be offering COVID-19 vaccines to their employees.”
So it must be the case that Ohio State leadership somehow found themselves a stronger financial disincentive to subjecting employees to Covid-19 vaccine injection. Where would such a disincentive come from? Answer: lawsuits. I also suspect that fear of worsening staff shortages from disability and/or death further disrupting operations played a role as well (as you will learn below).
This new policy action (taken very quietly) is absolutely dam breaking to me in terms of progress towards the truth about the mRNA platform getting out to the public. It is also appears ethically reprehensible, i.e. the institution made the decision to keep jabbing the public with a toxic and lethal vaccine while becoming aware that same vaccine is either exposing them to unmanageable legal risks and/or is disrupting their operations by negatively impacting the health of their workforce. Welcome to dystopia.

Trial for Freedom Convoy leaders ends, verdict may take 6 months
From LifeSiteNews
In her concluding statements last Friday in an Ottawa courthouse, presiding judge Heather Perkins-McVey said that she does ‘not know’ when a decision will be rendered in the Freedom Convoy leaders’ trial.
The trial for Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, which was supposed to have been only 16 days long, has now concluded after over a year, with the presiding judge observing that determining a verdict, which could take up to six months, will be “daunting” task.
In her concluding statements last Friday in an Ottawa courthouse, presiding judge Heather Perkins-McVey said that she does “not know” when she will “be in a position to give my decision,” adding that coming up with a verdict will be “a little daunting.”
The judge has promised that on November 26, she will be providing an update as to when a decision could be forthcoming.
The trial has been ongoing for over one year and began on September 3, 2023. As reported by LifeSiteNews, both Lich and Barber face a possible 10-year prison sentence for their role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy.
In an X post on Friday, Lich shared her thoughts on the trial finally wrapping up.
“Well, that’s a wrap to the Longest Mischief Trial of All Time,” she wrote.
Well, that’s a wrap to the Longest Mischief Trial of All Time. Check in date Nov 26 to hopefully set a date for the verdict.

“The Crown really disappointed me today. His remarks about the Event That Shall Not Be Named (Freedom Convoy) being nothing more than a weekend party are indicative of a level of smugness and elitism that I can never and will never understand,” added Lich.
Both Lich and Barber had attended the hearings in person, travelling from their homes in Alberta and Saskatchewan respectively. Last Friday, however, they attended via video.
Lich and Barber face multiple charges from the 2022 protests, including mischief, counseling mischief, counseling intimidation, and obstructing police. In Canada, anyone charged with mischief could face a potential jail sentence of up to 10 years.
The Crown prosecution has held steadfast to the notion that Lich and Barber somehow influenced the protesters’ actions through their words as part of a co-conspiracy. This claim has been rejected by the defense as weak.
It has also been asserted “that the absence of violence or peaceful nature of the protest didn’t make it lawful, emphasizing that the onus was on the Crown to prove the protest’s unlawfulness.”
The reality is that Lich and Barber collaborated with police on many occasions so that the protest remained law abiding.
The Democracy Fund, which is crowdfunding Lich’s legal costs, noted in one of its last legal updates of the trial that it expected the Crown would try to prove the leaders were “co-conspirators,” meaning that accusations placed against one leader automatically apply to the other.
As reported by LifeSiteNews at the time, despite the non-violent nature of the protest and the charges, Lich was jailed for weeks before she was granted bail.
